Why is the Christian pamhlet "Divali: festival of light, circle of darkness" anti-Hindu? It only illustrates that some Christians consider their religion superior and their emphasis on the Great Commission. Andries 20:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

By the same token, why is the Der Ewige Jude pamphlet anti-semitic?It only "illustrates that Nazis considered their race superior". Besides, the source is academic and lists it as anti-Hindu propaganda so that's what it is depicted on wikipedia per the fair use clause.Hkelkar 20:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Most committed adherents of all religions consider their religions superior than other religions. If this were not the case then people would change their religion. This is not the case of people with a certain race. Andries 20:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Please read WP:NOR. Besides, Hindus are an ethnicity as well as a religion, and anti-Hindu sentiments involve attacks on both.Hkelkar 20:18, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

When, where, and by whom was this pamphlet labelled anti-Hindu? Andries 21:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

By the Infinity Foundation.Hkelkar 21:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Bear in mind that Indian Christians (who are far more devout Christians than these Southern Baptist Bible Thumpers) of every moderate denomination celebrate Diwali together with Hindus. I myself an Jewish and celebrate Diwali with Shaivites, Krishnites, Vaishnavites, Ganeshites, Jesuits, Pentacostals, Roman Catholics, Syrian Christians etc. etc.Hkelkar 20:10, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

This article should be moved to "Anti-Hindu prejudice." "Anti-Hindu" is just an adjective. Also, the I couldn't find any free license on the website the image of the leaflet was taken from. BhaiSaab 21:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Look at the fair use clause in copyright.Hkelkar 21:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I can't find the copyright page. BhaiSaab 21:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair Use clause is on wikipedia only.Hkelkar 21:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah, ok. You previously used GFDL. Fair use is better. BhaiSaab 21:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Look at the Afd nom.Consensus was to keep as is. however, if you can get an admin to agree then I will not oppose redirecting to anti-Hindu prejudices.Hkelkar 21:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I propose anti-Hinduism. Andries 21:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately the latter term is rarely used. For various historical reasons "anti-Hindu" is more widely used.Hkelkar 21:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I checked it with google and you are completely correct in this. Nevertheless the title anti-Hindu contradicts Misplaced Pages:Naming_conventions_(adjectives) It seems that in this case there is good reason not to follow this guideline. Andries 21:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Well that's your interpretation. We need consensus here, and also third party mediation. I am not necessarily opposed to moving the article to "anti-Hindu prejudices".Hkelkar 21:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Is it possible to interpret "It is recommended that adjectives be redirected to nouns" any other way? BhaiSaab 21:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Keep article at same title.Bakaman _Bakatalk 21:52, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

edit warring

I explained the reasons for my edit, but User:Bakasuprman reverted my edit without comment. Please discuss issues rather than edit warring. — goethean ॐ 22:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe because the actual thing was cited in the source.

Source #19Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I have corrected the text to reflect what is claimed in your selectively-quoted source. — goethean ॐ 22:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Its not even my source. I have no idea who quoted it. The only reason I came to this article at this point in time was because it was on my watchlist. Its only edit warring once a person reverts twice.Bakaman _Bakatalk 01:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Whatever. You reverted wrongly, and without an edit summary, after I had explained the reasons for my edit in detail. — goethean ॐ 02:13, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Genocide?

I know little of the issues of Hindus in Southeast Asia, but I doubt that something with as specific a definition as genocide would describe their experience. Specifically I've never encountered mention of anti-Hindu massacres as examples of genocide. Indeed, even Wikipedias list of things described as genocide, which is far broader one I'd write to do what is my rather simple understanding of 'the murder of a people.' Perhaps a less specific term like massacre, persuecution or ethnic cleansing might be appropriate? Wilhelm Ritter 00:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Plz see 1971 Bangladesh atrocities. Hkelkar 01:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I changed it to more specific examples with the less specific description "persecution".Hkelkar 01:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Book

A better source is needed. Hindu Unity is a "hate site" and is not appropriate or reliable here. Hkelkar 03:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
